Police raid Buildmat over Mahama’s denigrated image

Owners of Buildmat Company Limited, a hardware shop along the Spintex road in Accra, have expressed worry over a raid by the police at their premises today.

About a dozen policemen allegedly stormed the shop in search of printed materials intended to denigrate the person of President Mahama.

Nana Asante Bediatuo, the lawyer for Buildmat's owner, contended that no incriminating items were recovered during the raid and blamed the government for using the police to intimidate political opponents.

He described the raid as unlawful and wrong, an action that “cannot be tolerated”.
